Is there an immortality? Where can I find definite proof of the future life? We may not prove the fact as we prove a problem in algebra but it is more difficult to disprove it Men have always cherished the hope of immortality The wisest and noblest have believed in it His friends asked Socrates where they should bury him -ifter death and he replied Anywhere you like if you can catch me He knew that real man is not flesh and blood but spirit God is a spirit Man made in God's likeness must be spirit too clothed now in garments of mortality but destined for immortality Our Lord's positive assurance makes our hope of immortality sure He has the authority and refers to immortality as an indisputable fact If it were not so I would have told you 1 '-'IA4 :4 1 At 4' '41 -ttl ti 'ii z': ''-s :4 s4c13 A 1 475 -ki' '1' 'k kk i -4 ''''t' -V44 i- --0--- 7-- t4 Ai i 4 Ili' -kg: -'31 40e 4i i 4: Charlotte's retail sales in 194S' reached the record total of $186980000 a gain of $16 million (95 per cent) over 1947 The Observer's research department reports Charlotte wholesale houses in 1948 did a $633235000 business the department estimated This volume was $72 million better than 1947 or a gain of 13 per cent The Observer's estimates heretofore have closely approximated the annual Sales Management survey figures issued each May Such increases in Charlotte retail and wholesale business the department pointed out are reflected in the city's bank debits The 1948 bank debits here totaled $2855742000 a gain of $387523000 (112 per cent) over 1947 the department estimated Back of this healthy increase in the business volume lies the increase in the "per family buying income" which in 1948 advanced 52 per cent Based on preliminary estimates of the Department of Commerce the per family buying income in Charlotte during 1948 was $6848 or $343 per family more than it was the year before The city 's "buying income" in- Ell cludes the total of all wages sala- is Captures Aries dividends interest payments and government payments during the year Ellis Captures Prince Williams Medal times Israelites were called on to ke sacrifices to build God a use The first time was the tabaele in the wilderness Just out slavery On the march to the mised land yet they gave so erally a halt was called to the ts The second was the first tern- (Solomon's) Vast stores of alth were given and hundreds thousands of men were used third was rebuilding the tern-' that had been destroyed by a all impoverished remnant that urned from the Babylonian cap-Hy This required the greatest rifice None of these structures re erected for the mere pleasure building or for architectural auty but for the glory of God the progress of His kinIclom sus said My house shall be calla house of prayer for all nans There was a definite connec'n between Israers mission and houses they erected to the glory God us ko al s' rr er ts all tt all ur ity ril re ut I a ns Ti ho Gc Championship In Trap Shoot lina Already in the larger cities like New York and Washington movie houses are noticing a decline in box office receipts attributed directly to television Mr Lockwood pointed out and naturally such competition is causing mounting concern With the improvement of television broadcasting and reception it naturally follows that this competition will become keener and movie attendance less he said Mr Lockwood recalled the scare radio gave the motion picture industry some years ago and how radio eventually became a complement to the industry rather than a serious competitor But he explained television is not a parallel because television offers visual as well as aural entertainment "And on a day like today" Mr Lockwood said gesturing toward the cold grey sky and hint of snow "the average movie-goer would much prefer to stay at home by his television set and avoid traffic parking problems and the expense of a theater ticket" Mecklenburg Points For Its Polio Goal Rev Mitchell Faulkner Pineville Methodist Ez 33:32 is found what seems a profound insight into the difficulty with much modern preaching Lo says the prophet thou art unto them as a very lovely son of one that hath a and can play well instrument for they hear but they do them not description of my ministry? professional entertainer only in eternal overtones occasion?

All anyone knows is that it is exceedingly large and is growing much larger and represents 40 per rent of the retail Volume arcording to Charlotte merehants some of WhOM get more than 50 per cent of their volume from cities and towns other than Charlotte And with it grows the eity's WWII to satisfy customers' needs Charlotte stores are continually remodeling and expanding and constructing DPW facilities That explains in part why its sales volume continues to grow healthily end the stiles volume explains why the torvx and institutions are able to expend and remodel 'outh 9 Is Winner On Heidt Program CHIEF PROBLEM Television's chief problem is programming he said and films naturally are the answer: therefore exhibitors are discouraging producers from selling their old films to television because such sales cause inroads on the exhibitors' box office and eventually cuts down returns on the producers' current and future product Most potential threat of television Mr Lockwood said is phonovision which is now in an experimental stage Phonovision means that the television set owner can call his telephone company and order whatever motion picture is available The telephone company enters a charge for the service and makes it possible for the set owner to see the picture in the privacy and coin-fort of his own home Another problem facing theater exhibitors was pointed out by Herman Levy general counsel of the Theater Owners of America That is the amusement tax which is far out of proportion in comparison with other industries he said it ri A nine-year-ola
